The water... is kept always in motion by the currents of air passed through it, to preserve the health of the fish. There are many varietis of them, from the silvery mullet, or whiting to the spotted flathead or flounder and the reddish gurnard. The schnapper and the sharks, which are kept in the larger tanks, are especially noticeable, and such 'novelties' as the grey skate, the stingray, the porcupine fish, and the toad fish, the zebra fish and the pig fish, are not wanting. The water is beautifully clear, and every fibre of the seaweed and particle of the rockwork - which is arranged with taste and fidelty - can be minutely examined. The spear-like fin of the blennies, the queer mouth of the sand-eel under the snout of the fish, the toothless condition of the dog fish, and the beautiful bird-llike plumage of the of the parrot fish are all clearly defined. The stone litter indefutigably keeps up his calling of trying to hit boulders to find food, and has not yet found out that the rocks are fixtures. The octopus is an uncanny looking object, and the 10 footed squid in its quiet retirement, finds it no longer necessary to eject ink to cover its retreat from an enemy. </i>The Argus, 25 Feb 1885 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Unfortunately, the octopus did not have a stimulating environment to thrive and Jacob did not have the opportunity to see it or the seals as they died before he visited the aquarium.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On 8 May 1885, The Geelong Advertiser reported their deaths.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>One of the curious and most interesting tenants of the Aquarium was undoubtedly the octopus, but I regret to say that it is no more.

David Jones currently occupies 86-108 Castlereagh Street. </p><p>The two German ships were the <i>Stosch</i> and the <i>Marie</i>. The Stosch was a German man-of-war ship under the command of Commodore Paschen. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I’m sure that Jacob would have been very interested in the two German war ships which dropped anchor initially at Farm Cove. The <i>Marie </i>a German corvette, under command of Captain Krokisins arrived in tow with the <i>Stosch </i>a German man-of-war ship under the command of Commodore Paschen. <br />Their arrival in Sydney was not without incident. On 27th December 1884 while sailing between Niga and Nusa the <i>Marie</i> lost her rudder, rudder-post, propeller and keel. It took two months to make a new rudder. The <i>Stosch</i> took <i>Marie </i>under tow on 26 April, but had to let her go in heavy seas a few days later. For eight days the <i>Stosch</i> stayed close to the <i>Marie </i>before continuing on with the tow. <br />“The <i>Marie</i> is armed with 10 of Krujpp’s latest thype of breech-loading rifled guns, and carry a sbot of abbout 80 German pounds. These are on the upper deck, as are also tow 87 inch guns, which are beautifully finished and equally well kept weapons of destruction. The rifles used by the seamen are the same as those on the <i>Stosch</i>, viz., the improved Mauser, of which there is a full supply. Then there are four Hotchkiss guns, and last, but certainly not least, torpedoes. these formidable weapons, of which three are carried, are manufactured by Schwatskoff, of Berlin, and are an improvement on the Whitehead.” (3)<br />It would be difficult to find out who William the Mekleberger, Ferdinand and Schuman were.

Dad had an appointment at the Commonwealth Bank in Stanthorpe. Everything went smoothly until the bank manager asked him where he intended to build his house. The answer - Wallangarra - was not the right one. Apparently the only correct answer was Stanthorpe. My father's response was to go to the teller and withdraw all his money and take it across the road to the National Bank.</p><p>When he was telling the builder that the Commonwealth Bank wouldn't lend him the money, Mr Pierpoint replied that he would build the house and my parents could pay him back. He said that our families were related. Pierpoint's uncle Samuel had married my father's great great aunt, Emma Hooton in 1881, almost 80 years previously. And this is what happened. Mr Pierpoint would come to Wallangarra every month to collect the repayments. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSv-DngZYHyK-8xgF-d74UnlgoewCFp7zQPMLbFfGPASOsHiUx_Yi0V9hGcqOgWUE0x1gsMNKOYxMw2rApqmNOoTC3VKhryqU2vCLi2D_-1mpLxTaFqDwEjHltvWf_XAkFIgjP7ZL1wp8O0fq6MytE0DoUO2xdYStliDeLwTJcLoOKJI_OoqCLjIAu/s3537/1957_Houses_0001%20copy.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2384" data-original-width="3537" height="432" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSv-DngZYHyK-8xgF-d74UnlgoewCFp7zQPMLbFfGPASOsHiUx_Yi0V9hGcqOgWUE0x1gsMNKOYxMw2rApqmNOoTC3VKhryqU2vCLi2D_-1mpLxTaFqDwEjHltvWf_XAkFIgjP7ZL1wp8O0fq6MytE0DoUO2xdYStliDeLwTJcLoOKJI_OoqCLjIAu/w640-h432/1957_Houses_0001%20copy.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">69 Rayleigh Street, Wallangarra, 1957</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygFLmu1LqQjSSXtSD0m6Ph5c-CXR6GaBSApg89zdSZDySpsWyetHfZAGkQ-NkAYpZbs2Q651l3IvH5_3HrBpliN9d2DZNsqgDAVpmFPZPgThIsila4OxCacwrc2wkxPF7RzKRdy2DCetZyGOpn0cHVLudL2nKImGXGpNwf4Unm-yhOXfGC754InG7/s1892/69RayleighStWallangarra1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1164" data-original-width="1892" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygFLmu1LqQjSSXtSD0m6Ph5c-CXR6GaBSApg89zdSZDySpsWyetHfZAGkQ-NkAYpZbs2Q651l3IvH5_3HrBpliN9d2DZNsqgDAVpmFPZPgThIsila4OxCacwrc2wkxPF7RzKRdy2DCetZyGOpn0cHVLudL2nKImGXGpNwf4Unm-yhOXfGC754InG7/w640-h394/69RayleighStWallangarra1.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">69 Rayleigh Street, Wallangarra, c 1958</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY9lGM1FfaJvNMntTs-jYVF8KfW024t6qDJRetgjL9V6cQhy9j2vOvNW8jkdUPP9QPFHtpPXjNpNXLWsUy3TmP2e2zI5s_fDN8iiiCkWWU92_RfJMZuxqY4lX_5lGMMnEfcXFk3WBgGIxJSSmwDs662mU6Qm6rwbdQzeNzHLMoBmkMyEkmJKuNuX1b/s1902/69RayleighStWallangarra2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1134" data-original-width="1902" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY9lGM1FfaJvNMntTs-jYVF8KfW024t6qDJRetgjL9V6cQhy9j2vOvNW8jkdUPP9QPFHtpPXjNpNXLWsUy3TmP2e2zI5s_fDN8iiiCkWWU92_RfJMZuxqY4lX_5lGMMnEfcXFk3WBgGIxJSSmwDs662mU6Qm6rwbdQzeNzHLMoBmkMyEkmJKuNuX1b/w640-h382/69RayleighStWallangarra2.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">69 Rayleigh Street, Wallangarra, c1958</td></tr></tbody></table><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCiihWvka7wzgAXfZJu_jCHh_LJwFGys9jTRnzDvToRDs9RhvrU2_bLKJWHdBFH3EplBhmlQWHGBoTW4lDReKfvPnXTqpq__1m-XVwhavOASHN8IiwC4QCfOxSa3VbDFg1cj5fj_CYB0f3gMvdU5qdaD1EPoJwjJZ1xoIh6RnsE9dONLWGZxCLUcNJ/s2280/69RayleighStWallangarra3.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1554" data-original-width="2280" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCiihWvka7wzgAXfZJu_jCHh_LJwFGys9jTRnzDvToRDs9RhvrU2_bLKJWHdBFH3EplBhmlQWHGBoTW4lDReKfvPnXTqpq__1m-XVwhavOASHN8IiwC4QCfOxSa3VbDFg1cj5fj_CYB0f3gMvdU5qdaD1EPoJwjJZ1xoIh6RnsE9dONLWGZxCLUcNJ/w640-h436/69RayleighStWallangarra3.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">69 Rayleigh Street, Wallangarra, after May 1958.<br /><p style="border: medium; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">The above photo was taken after 5 May 1958 as the </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_FC" target="_blank">FC Holden Special </a>was introduced on that date. </p><p style="text-align: left;">What makes this story more interesting is that I have the book where my father, Ron Moore, and James H Pierpoint kept track of the payments made. <span style="font-weight: normal;">The house cost £2310 to build.

Jean died on 4th April 1841 and is buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Fowlerville, Livingston County, New York, USA. She emigrated to America either with or after her daughter Margaret and her husband William Forsyth. Her son John, who is my ancestor stayed in Scotland. His great granddaughter, Jane Smith Fleming and her husband Malcolm McColm, emigrated to Australia in 1878. A special thanks for a copy of Mary R Roots book, <i>History of the Town of York, Livingston County, New York</i> which gives details of her burial. </span></span></span></p><p style="text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p style="text-size-adjust: auto;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhRiABv9mf_0uwekQ25Bd0ihphSudTxl9WwxdRGkiif7r8v5Bz7YcpmPOuLyrxrU-iE4WmeX6JE59SzNek8PpuBVTTbgFrWYe8xgF8sjQAatHeS97c2n6WzVJtZAlInkOYG30N_eJ1H7x4x4WBqll1Xc9CgTp-x46lFdNyFFS_58NpLWwkPtvqBLH3H=s313" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="313" data-original-width="250" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhRiABv9mf_0uwekQ25Bd0ihphSudTxl9WwxdRGkiif7r8v5Bz7YcpmPOuLyrxrU-iE4WmeX6JE59SzNek8PpuBVTTbgFrWYe8xgF8sjQAatHeS97c2n6WzVJtZAlInkOYG30N_eJ1H7x4x4WBqll1Xc9CgTp-x46lFdNyFFS_58NpLWwkPtvqBLH3H=w319-h400" width="319" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: verdana;">He</span>adstone of Jean Carruthers Milroy.</i> <br />Photo <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/232287778/jane-milroy" target="_blank">Find a Grave</a></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p style="text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p style="text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">I splashed out and purchased a new Macbook Pro with 1 terabyte of storage.

I have previously written a post about <a href="http://genealogymatters2me.blogspot.com/2020/08/dashwood-house-newton-stewart.html" target="_blank">Dashwood House</a> at Newton Stewart but now need to write a followup as the house I thought was Dashwood isn't.</p><p>I wanted to verify that my research (as it turns out an uneducated guess) was correct so I posted on the Facebook page of Newton and Minnigaff Memories. You can see my post <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/563729221246811/permalink/656057878680611">here.</a> </p><p>Comments informed me that I was wrong. My earlier reasoning was incorrect and I didn't spend enough time in Newton Stewart to positively verify my work. I was fortunate that a number of people replied to my post and one of them posted a photo of the Dashwood House for me. Further comments informed me that the Renwick family purchased from the Milroy family and held the property until about 1930 when the Nicholson family purchased the property. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyvlyQH-Rn2it7H8P7IYOpvepeaK1kRIh55erjYC-lfql7gqo0XqyKGMD6t48NnQYshhP7foEMPIqU17C76d4rijk1i0IQffd0sZ-4C2KWXzy31dlUme_wet6L5L8pItatE2xHsUHSCPo/s960/Dashwood+House.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dashwood House" border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyvlyQH-Rn2it7H8P7IYOpvepeaK1kRIh55erjYC-lfql7gqo0XqyKGMD6t48NnQYshhP7foEMPIqU17C76d4rijk1i0IQffd0sZ-4C2KWXzy31dlUme_wet6L5L8pItatE2xHsUHSCPo/w480-h640/Dashwood+House.jpeg" title="Dashwood House, Newton Stewart" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Dashwood House, Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire, Scotland</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans", sans-serif; font-size: 12.6px; text-align: justify;">My Lineage: James Milroy & Elizabeth McGill, Jane Milroy, Jane Smith Fleming, Mary McColm, James Moore, Ronald Moore, Sharon Moore</span></p><br /><p><br /></p>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08099651984506366012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937252981746908830.post-88501004299490777902020-08-01T18:54:00.004+10:002020-08-01T19:25:51.526+10:00Dashwood House, Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire<div><b>Dashwood House, Newton Stewart</b></div><div><br /></div>My 4G grandfather, James Milroy and his wife Elizabeth McGill lived at Dashwood House, Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire, Scotland from when they purchased it in 1879 until the death of Elizabeth in 1895.<div><br /></div><div>In July 2018, I drove through Newton Stewart and managed to find Dashwood House.

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

I have located the births of the following children to John Moore and his wife Margaret Jane Henry.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin-left: 36px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin-left: 36px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Their three daughters Rose, Elizabeth and Margaret were named according to Scottish and Irish naming patterns.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
If they followed the same pattern with their sons their names should be John, James and John.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The first son was called John, the second James and the third John. For the third son to be called John, the first son would have to have died between 1872 and 1881. However, I can’t find a death for John Moore (1). </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Support for theory that John Moore born 28 December 1872 was known as Knox.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br />
<ol><span style="font-family: "calibri";">
<li>The Scottish census was taken on 3 April 1881. The Moore family lived in Wellington Street, Greenock. Knox and his sister Rosetta were 8 and 6 years old. Knox’s age matches that of John (1).</li>
<li>The shipping record of the arrival in Brisbane of the <i>Merkara</i> on 12 December 1883 gives Knox’s age as 10. If he was John (1) he would have turned 11 on 28<sup> </sup>December. His sister Rosetta was 8. The age difference between the two matches the births of John (1) and Rosetta.</li>
<li>John Moore (husband of Margaret Jane Henry) died in 1929. His death certificate names his children as Knox, Rosetta, Eliza, James and Margaret and two males deceased. The two deceased males were the twins James and John who died on 4 October and 13 October 1881. If John (1) had died I believe that this would have increased the male deaths to 3 on their father’s death certificate, especially as the twins are mentioned. I believe that John (1) is Knox, my great grandfather.</li>
<li>Knox Moore’s death certificate states he was 69 years old when he died on 12 December 1942. This age matches John Moore (1). He would have been 70 on 28 December 1942.</li>
</span></ol>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">
</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin-left: 36px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
I believe that Knox Moore was in fact John Moore born 28 December 1872. He was possibly called Knox after his uncle Knox the younger brother of his father John.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
If this is the case, that is why there was no birth certificate for Knox Moore. He was in fact John Moore.</div>

This morning I decided to check out my Tree Completeness and thought it a good idea to check out the statistics.<br />
<br />
I'm posting them here so I can check back next year to see how I've progressed. There must come a time when I can go no further.<br />
<br />
It is interesting to note that my son-in-law has a pedigree collapse.<br />
